Especially at edges with stones, you can water more. These are the areas that suffer from lack of water first and turn brown. Watering on a slope is also not difficult. As long as it is not too steep, use the normal sprinklers, otherwise set them slightly tilted or use taller risers. If it gets really steep, water in a cascading manner from top to bottom.

Good morning,

I now have the curves relatively well under control. I think gaps in triangular shape with about 150 cm² are not too serious.
However, I still have a problem with an inner corner with a radius of 1m. The MP800SR has a smallest possible radius of 1.8m and can be set to a minimum of 90°. This is how it would look for me:



I still have quite a gap of 25-30cm over one meter. How can this be solved?

I had written that, add another smaller sprinkler. The water demand is higher at these spots anyway.

Yes, but it can't be that small. With the MP800SR, I get a minimum of 90° and a 1.8m radius.

Then rather irrigate from the area with a 45° corner or place the sprinkler into the surface. You just end up overwatering it then...

I once faced the same problem as you and then solved it the way Rick2018 already said. It looked something like this (was the first draft) Additionally, I placed pond liner over the concrete back of the lawn edging stones (up to about 1cm below the sod) so that the concrete does not draw moisture from the soil.
